The Armed Forces Radio and Television Service (AFRTS) is another U.S.
government-operated broadcast service that doesn't have callsigns. Of
course most AFRTS stations are located outside U.S. territory, but the
few that are U.S. based (especially in Puerto Rico and Alaska) do not
have calls.


Hi,
Thanks for the info.
In the Armed Forces.. do you include also military stations ? For example
who assigned calls to the Army operators working in the field ?
Was it the Management Division of the International Broadcasting Bureau
instead of FCC ?

(the most prominent exception: the USA National Weather Service operates
a nationwide chain of weather broadcasting stations between 162.4 and
162.55MHz. All of them have callsigns, even though almost all of them
belong to the Weather Service, a federal agency.)
